More Information

     Leonard Doohan is widely-known as an author and lecturer in biblical theology, spirituality, and the role of the laity in the church. Here, for the first time, he gathers together material presented over many years in his workshops on John of the Cross. The Contemporary Challenge of John of the Cross offers a clear and simple introduction to the life, writings, and message of the Mystical Doctor, stressing always the practical applications of his teaching and example for today's Christians. "This excellent work," writes Ernest Larkin, O.Carm., "opens the treasures of John of the Cross for our contemporaries."

     "The Institute of Carmelite Studies publishes excellent works at very inexpensive prices; its exemplary edition of The Collected Works of Saint John of the Cross, for instance, would get my vote as one of the best theological buys of all time."
